TORN Staffer MrCere writes: DragonCon in Atlanta starts this weekend and as it has been for several years now, TheOneRing.net will be in the house! I will be at a fan table in the basement of the Marriott where we will be selling our new, but as yet unrevealed t-shirts. (Hint: it has a reference to elves from another currently popular fictional universe).
But besides supporting the not-for-profit TORn, every Lord of the Rings fan should come by the table and pick up a gift card from Sideshow Collectibles while supplies last. Each person attending the show can claim a card until my supply runs out and each card is worth between $10 and $100 on Sideshow’s in-stock supply. This includes several very cool Lord of the Ring items.
Each person wanting a prize will roll two dice and generate a number between 1 and 100. (2d10 for geeks like me). Every number is a winner but each day we will feature a “GRAND PRIZE” item from Sideshow that will astound and amaze your friends and neighbors if you win. Better still, Sideshow will ship the item directly to you at home so there will be no need to carry it away from Atlanta or lug it around the convention. We will also give away some TORn shirts and some grand but non-“GRAND PRIZE” LOTR items from SideshowCollectibles.com at the table each day for those lucky enough to roll specific numbers.
The Tolkien schedule is here and we are honored to have Friday’s annual “Evening at Bree” dedicated to our friend and staffer, the late Balin. See you at the show!

TheOneRing.net will offer four new shirt styles for the fall, three of which will be available to buy at Dragon Con in Atlanta September 3 – 6.
We don’t want to give away everything at once but the three shirts available at the fantasy convention (with its own heavy-duty Tolkien tract of programming) will have new sayings and will be in colors slightly different from what TORn has offered previously.
One has a “pretty Elf-man” joke on the back for people who have never read Tolkien’s books while another returns to TORn’s name sake and has a reference about a ring, or at least something precious.
The final shirt, which features a full seven color front and the likeness of a top-notch idol of millions is a “Thank you” note to Peter Jackson.
The fourth shirt that will be available on the web site is a polo-style collared shirt with an embroidered TheOneRing.net logo. It will be available in four colors. This shirt, because of its extra cost on TORn’s end will be ordered from the production company as it is ordered from TORn and will take longer to get to TORNados but will be well worth the wait.
The t-shirts each feature text from the recent fan-made “Aniron” font used by express permission from its creator. Restricted from commercial use, the font is available for fan use on his web site found here.
TORn still has a few of our old style shirts available but sizes and color choices are limited. Any shirts orders that cannot be filled will be refunded. We do still have a healthy stock of our “Return of the One Party” shirts available.
All our current merchandise and the new items are or will be available at our T-Shirt Store: [Click Here]
And of course buying our items not only gets you great stuff, it helps keep TheOneRing.net on line.
Images of the new shirts will be posted shortly.
